A quick and easy alternative would be to wrap/seal the cupcake in plastic wrap and then use expanding foam to seal it in the box for shipment, but probably better to manufacture two halves of foam form fitting padding so they recipient can actually get it out without destroying or contaminating the cupcake. Suspension would still be possible if you used a relatively small box for the form.<br>
